Can someone help. I am furious. BTCG user/worker benutzer_1 has hacked my antminer and changed a script file somewhere to redirect to his worker. What will BTC Guild do about this? Short of changing my SSH password which I have now done what else can I do?

UPDATE: Config file for cgminer did not show his pool/worker (priority 0) and a reboot has deleted killed his worker. Now very confused.

Thanks

I'm sorry you appear to have been hacked. But I don't see how BTCG can help?

I could say my worker was hacked and I should get credit for someone else's work too. My point is, how can you prove it?

It's definitely happening. I can vouch for that.

He's using the cgminer API listener to insert your pool and his account information onto miners with a hole in their default configurations. Sure, shame on the vendor that leaves that hole open, and shame on your member for hacking and stealing from decent people.

He's going to bring that shame on you too. I'd advise you to bounce that user from your pool before he muddies your name. You wouldn't want BTC Guild to become synonymous with "hackers" and "thieves", right?

A few months ago there was a user which started a hacking thread discussing similar things with KNC miners.. I got involved in it because some of his conclusions were messed up but I mention it because in the end he was trying to leverage the thread to distribute malware and was definitely the one targeting miners.. Given the timeline in the replies above perhaps it was the same guy, who still might be at it for all we know..
